This paper presents an atmospheric micro glow plasma-jet device. The device consists of four components; a thin Ni anode, a porous alumina insulater, a stainless steel cathode and an aluminum case. The Ni anode is fabricated using micromachining technology. The anode has 10 holes, of which the hole diameter and the depth are $250{\mu}m$ and $60{\mu}m$, respectively. The discharge test is performed in nitrogen gas at atmospheric pressure for 20 kHz AC bias. The breakdown voltage is 3.5 kV at gas flow rate of 4 L/min and the the plasma-jet is blown out to ambient at 5.5 kV. In order to verify the characteristics of plasma, the current and the voltage of device are measured. The maximum temperature of plasma is $37^{\circ}C$. The plasma is well generated and stable at high voltage.

Design and characteristic improvement of existing folded dipole antenna is presented to adopt W-CDMA(1.885~2.170 GHz) wideband antenna radiators. The antenna structure has +/- 45 degrees dual polarization. In order to overcome the narrow bandwidth and low gain characteristic typical of the microstrip antenna, double layered structure was employed. The antenna achieved below - 20 dB reflection coefficients each ports, - 20 dB of port isolation, above 7 dBi of gain, providing evidence that the proposed design can be used in the W-CDMA service frequency band antenna.

This paper presents a portable power supply equipped with a battery charger. The proposed system can be operated separatedly distinguishing between DC/AC and AC/DC function. The former uses a battery and the latter a line voltage as the power source to operate on an inverter and a battery charger, respectively. To keep the output voltage being sinusoidal and to have the high dynamic performances even In the cases of load variations, a proper control method is adapted. The operational principles and analysis are explained in detail. The validity of the proposed system is proved from the experimental results.

An antenna was designed and manufactured for the DBS receiver system. This antenna is a planar or flat antenna which shows many advantages over the conventional parabolic antenna such as higher aperture efficiency, easier installation and improved aesthetics to name a few. The antenna is a novel design employing microstrip annular ring resonating antenna elements and a radial waveguide feeder network. The LNB(Low Noise Blockdown Converter) is can integrate with the antenna iしt the back of the radial waveguide. The 35cm diameter antenna works at 31.8dBi minimum gain which implies an aperture efficiency of around $80\%$.

생활수준이 향상되고, 환경오염이 가속되면서 환경에 대한 관심이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 수질센서의 경우, 그 측정 항목이 매우 다양하고, 높은 정밀도를 요하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지속적인 실시간 모니터링을 요구하고 있어, 기술적으로 해결해야 할 문제가 많이 남아 있다. 또한, 현재 약 15% 정도로 매우 낮은 국산화율을 보이고 있어, 대부분의 주요 센서들이 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 수질을 측정하기 위한 센서는 크게 두 가지 형태로 나누어 질 수 있는데, 하나는 flow injection analysis (FIA) 방식이며, 다른 하나는 Probe 방식의 센서이다. 본 발표에서는 수질 센서에 대한 최근 국내 기술 동향과, 수질 모니터링을 위한 Lab-on-a-chip 형 암모니아 분석 칩, Probe 형 중금속 센서 연구 개발 결과를 요약하고자 한다. 암모니아 분석 칩은 마이크로 유체 소자 내에서 Berthelot reaction을 유도하고, 흡광법에 의하여 물 속에 존재하는 암모니아를 간접적으로 측정하는 방법이다. 또한, 중금속 센서로 일반적인 working electrode 소재로 사용되는 독성이 있는 Hg 보다 친환경적인 개발된 bismuth-modified carbon nanotube와 같은 Bi계 복합소재를 적용하여 물 속에 존재하는 저 농도의 Pb, Cd, Zn을 측정 분석할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 분석칩과 중금속 센서를 이용하여 하천에서 샘플링된 물에서의 암모니아 및 중금속 농도를 각각 분석할 수 있었다.

The radiation characteristics of an E-plane linear array antenna composed of inductive loaded patch antennas (ILPAs) are investigated. The radiation characteristics of an ILP array antenna are significantly improved compared to those of a conventional array antenna because the mutual coupling of an ILP array antenna is very small. The patch length of a $5{\times}2$ ILPA for the enhancement of the radiation characteristics of a 5-element E-plane linear array antenna composed of ILPAs is presented.

Top-emission device has a merit of high aperture ratio and narrow emission spectrum compared to that of bottom-emission one. Emission spectra of top-emission organic light-emitting diodes depending on a layer thickness and view angle were analyzed using a theory of microcavity. Device structure was manufactured to be Al (100 nm)/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiF (0.5 nm)/Al (2 nm)/Ag (30 nm). N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'- di (m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) and tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3) were used as a hole-transport layer and emission layer, respectively. And a thickness of TPD and Alq3 layer was varied in a range of 40 nm~70 nm and 60 nm~110 nm, respectively. Angle-dependent emission spectrum out of the device was measured with a device fixed on a rotating plate. Since the top-emission device has a property of microcavity, it was observed that the emission spectrum shift to a longer wavelength region as the organic layer thickness increases, and to a shorter wavelength region as the view angle increases. Layer thickness and view-angle dependent emission spectra of the device were analyzed in terms of microcavity theory. A reflectivity of semitransparent cathode and optical path length were deduced.

In this paper, we propose a microstrip line fed printed monopole antenna which has an ultra-wideband characteristic. Proposed antenna can improve the bandwidth characteristic with the taper structure formed by modified ground plane and radiating element. Measured impedance bandwidth ratio of the antenna is more than 30:1; from the lower frequency of 0.89 GHz to the upper frequency of more than 30 GHz for VSRW$\leq$2. The antenna has conical radiation pattern that has low radiation gain to $\theta$=0$^{\circ}$ direction and higher radiation gains as $\theta$ increases.

In this paper, the key parameters of $CO_2$ laser(focus depth, air blow rate, total laser beam time, number of pulse) are experimented for thru-hole and scribing line on AIN(aluminum nitride) substrate with high thermal conductivity. And, microstrip line & spiral planar inductor are fabricated on AIN substrate using 5 um Cu-plating with self-masking technique. The microstrip line of AIN has 0.1 dB/mm attenuation at 10 GHz and 6 nH spiral planar inductor has 56 maximum quality factor at 1 GHz. Thus, the AIN substrate is promising for GHz applications of high power area.

In this paper, a dual band electrical beam tilting array antenna with bi-directional directivity is designed. Radiating element operates at dual-resonance frequencies and is designed as planar dipole using PCB. In order to tilt the main beam, the phase delay line is designed by use of only the phase shifting line of a $50\Omega$ microstrip line for broadband. The designed antenna has tilting angle of $0^{\circ}$ to ${\pm}8^{\circ}$. For validation of the designed antenna specification, the array antenna is fabricated and the performances are measured. Comparison between theory and experiment shows good agreement.
